Nau Succinct Trench CoatTrying to look stylish while spending rainy days around the city? Nau's got you covered with their modern version of the traditional trench coat.

Unless you live in a place where the sun is out all year long, you know what’s coming: the temperature’s going up by 20 degrees and the snow you’ve been living with the last couple months get replaced by similarly challenging rain. If you need a new rainy day jacket for wearing around the city, you might want to take a look at the Nau Succinct Trench Coat.

A modern version of the trench coat, it’s shorter than the traditional 10-button rainwear, making for a more relaxed and more casual everyday jacket. While shorter, it doesn’t scrimp on the technical protection, shrugging off water and wind while remaining breathable to keep things from getting too toasty underneath.

The Nau Succinct Trench Coat comes in a two-layer construction that combines a DWR-coated breathable membrane with fully-taped seams, ensuring it will keep all the rain water out. Breathable mesh and soft taffeta serve as comfortable lining, while a tall collar shields your neck from the elements for those days you decide to keep the zippered hood away. In case you’re going to be walking in the rain at night, it comes with a stowable reflective tape that you can keep in the back pocket to aid your visibility to motorists and other pedestrians.

Features include traditional zippered hand pockets, drop-in chest pockets, and a subtle plaid pattern to give it just that extra bit of style up close. It comes in a regular fit.

Available in black and gray, the Nau Succinct Trench Coat is priced at $274.95.

Many of the cheap rain jackets sold my mass department stores like Walmart are built cheaply. Unlike these cheap rain jackets, the Nau Succinct Trench Coat has focused on the minor details that help it to become a “real” rain jacket. One of the details usually overlooked by cheap rainjackets is the seams. The seams on the Nau Succinct Trench Coat are fully-taped. What good is a rainjacket if the seams leak? Fortunately Nau Succinct has you covered.

This rainjacket also comes with a zip-off hood. When you don’t need or want your hood you can easily remove it and get it out of the way. The collar on the jacket is also designed to repel water away and keep you from getting wet. If you have ever owned a rainjacket that had the collars that laid flat, then you know how easy it is for the water to penetrate you jacket from above. The collar on the Nau Succinct Trench Coat is ingeniously designed as it will allow mobility and flexibility of normal movement, yet encapsulates your neck to keep you dry.

This jacket is stylish and protective. If you truly need a rain Jacket, then buy a quality one such as the Nau Succinct Trench Coat, and avoid getting one from the department store.
